Houston, TX.GoGirlsMusic.com, the oldest and most popular
website for women in music, will continue their tradition of
highlighting the best in independent women musicians at its 4th
Annual “Invasion of the GoGirls,” taking place March 18-20
during the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival and
conference.
The five “unofficial” showcase invasions that weekend will
feature over 40 bands and performers in total. “We worked very
hard to create a lineup that was stylistically exciting yet
appealing to a diverse crowd,” explains Madalyn Sklar, founder
of GoGirlsMusic.com. “We fully expect to see an electrifying
blend of industry people, musicians and the general public at
our event,” continues Sklar.
This year marks the first time event organizers will augment
musical offerings with a keynote speaker and several “Do It
Yourself” panel discussions. On Friday, March 19, nearly twenty
musicians and industry personnel will share their knowledge and
experiences as they discuss the art of promotion, touring and
making a living as a full-time performer as an independent
musician.
“We are thrilled to announce that attendees will also have the
opportunity to hear Gigi Greco as our keynote speaker,” enthused
Sklar.
Greco’s career in the entertainment industry includes a wide
range of talents from marketing and publicity for the major and
independent labels, to writing short films for PBS to producing
a weekly television program currently running in syndication, as
well as directing and producing award winning music videos.
Since 1996, GoGirlsMusic.com has dedicated itself to bringing
together independent women musicians from around the country.
Eight years later, GoGirlsMusic.com has become a welcome
destination for women in music through networking and events.
All GoGirlsMusic.com events are free and open to the public.
